Here is my list of schools that I've selected. What do you guys/gals thinks?

Arizona
Boston
Nyu
Temple
Case
Creighton
Louisville
Nova
Marquette
Loma Linda
UOP
UNC
Howard (I am a minority--Latin American)
West Virginia (Not added but thinking about adding. What do you think?)

Although, I have yet to submit my app, my overall GPA will be somewhere around the 3.3 give or take tenth. My science GPA is a bit lower, somewhere around a 2.7. I'm taking the DAT in August, scored on my diagnostic test in Kaplan so far a PAT of 17 and AA of 15, so I need to improve. What do you think of this list, should I remove schools, add (and which ones?), or keep what I have? Thanks ahead for your replies.

If you are applying to UofP or BU, make sure your DAT score is at least an AA: 20. I believe their averages for incoming students hover around 20/21.

Are you from Wisconsin? If not, you'll have a harder time getting into Marquette. I had a 3.5 GPA and scored 18 on AA and 19 on PAT....and I only got waitlisted.

The list sounds pretty good to me, though I think you are wasting your time with UOP, UNC and West VA. UOP and UNC are both notoriously hard to get into, and its next to impossible to go to West VA if you are an out of stater with no connections to the school. If you can improve your DAT score a bit, I think you have a good chance of getting an interview at a couple places. Good luck.

I agree... I would write my opinion but it would be the exact same as above. 😎

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

yea UNC would be a waste of time.....i applied there last year with slightly higher stats and I got rejected early......the others look fine though
